placed in Ford county, million of null

ly and yield bountifutly each year
These trees save us feeding grain to
our chickens during the mulberry season

Mr. Horner, has been changed with three
different offences, why was he not dis
charged on the first. Because he merely
expended a large amount of the states
money. Second they say he is incom
petent. having smattering only of the
business. etc.
Still they kept him, and if this charge
be true that the commission or the ap.
pointing power kept him in Office know
ing him to be incompetent, then they are
a set of rascals and should be turned out
But no, these charges are naught, but
when it comes to giving Mrs. Gov Martin
a silk dress the jealous commission rose
in their might and discharged him. We
believe the charges to be very weak and
boyish, we also believe the one of Ina
bility' to be false

people of Peabody are to-day reaping the

Son, of the newspaper in this city
seem, to be very ready at all times
to nike a thrust at the W. c. T. Z.
Now many societies are organized on a
CHAIR BILE basis, and the members devote
their time, and spend their money for the
good of society at large. But there are
places that any fond mother shrinks from
entering. While the inclination may be
to render aid, for any one to expect
mother to enter the sick room where
dread and contagious disease has claimed
it's victim, with more than a probability
that she will carry home to her own loved
ones the same disease, is expecting and
asking more than is reasonable or just.
We know but little of the work of the w.
c. T. u, as their main work is to see
that the prohibition law is enforced while
it is law, and that the young receive
proper instructions. But we do know that
last winter they fed many who were
hungry and clothed many who were not
able to clothe themselves. They may
have made mistakes; who of US have not?
They refuse to rashly expose their fami-
lies to disease. Who outside of the So
ciety, or belonging to any other charitable
society would do the same?
The citizens of Dodge are liberal and
generous to fault Her charitable in
stitutions are no exception to her citizens
in general. In a spirit of fairness we
call attention to this matter, believing
that the w. G. T. U. has not been slack
or negligent, and do not deserve the cen

organization, but so hard to substanciate.

How many is not yet determined, but in
state soon to number two millions of

eral large towns, and a number of large
cities. Probably the sites of these are
nearly all determined, but there is room
for some additions to the list
There will be a difference in towns.
A town is not essentially different from
an individual As rule liar. a hog or
a cut-throat or a kicker comes to grief in

A town that has no real advantages. and

boom, but it will also have a backset.
A town that is liberal but reasonable,
enterprising but not crazy, where the
business men are united and stand by

its newspapers. its churches, talk for it,
advertise it, believe in 1.-THE lots in that
town are as gold in London bank"
Any boom that depends On the success

HOMER, THE MULBERRY
MAN.

ToPLKA, KAN, Oct 26.-J. H. Morse
of Marion, one of the members of the
Kansas silk commission who was in the
city to-day, speaking of the recent diff
ficulty with Superintendent Horner said:
MIR. Horners dismissal by the commiss-
ion was due entirely to his insubordnation
in regard to the silk dress patterns made
by Beldin Brothers of New York from
Kansas silk and presented to Mrs Martin.
wife of Gov. John A. Martin, few weeks
ago. The presentation of the dress pat
tern to Mrs. Martin was directly contary
to the suggestions and instructions given
Mr.. HOrner by the commission. The
reasons we did not think it advisable to
make the governors wife preaent of
the silk were, that the silk was state prop
erty and such a present, we thought,
might be regarded by the public as an at
tempt to truckle to or curry favor with
the appointing power. AS soon as we
learned that Horner had shipped the
dress pattern by express prepaid to Mrs.
Martin we removed him from the office
of superintendent. His place is now fill
ed by Abraham Thiessen, a Russian silk
culturist of extensive practical expert
ence. Horner was a most impractical
man and only possessed mere smatter-
ing of knowledge relative to silk culture.
He however, mad one faculty which could
hardly be equaled by any man l ever
knew, and that was in his expenditure of
money in prosecuting his researches
Being asked to explain the charges of
having received SO, 500. made by exSup-
erintendent Horner, Morse said: The
sum of So 500 which Horner accuses the
commissioners of approprioting to their
own use, was raised by the citizens of
Peabody and was invested by them in the
ten acres of land which was donated for
the uses of the commission as consider
alton of locating the station in that city.
This is all there is to the charges"
The above calls to mind that Mr. Hor-
ner is well and favorably known by many
people of Ford Co.
He may have made mistake by giving
another mans wife a silk dress. but he
has done too much for Ford county, for
Us to let this pass without mention.
We are satisfied that it is not best to
make such presents, without you have

THE YOUNG MAN WHO
DRINKS.
Sioux City, Iowa, Journal

| The young man who is known to be
given to Intoxicating drink is having
hard row to hoe in this world. There is
no encouraging place for him. The door
to preferment, even the door to emyloy-
ment, is closed against him The rail-
road manager has no use for him at ALL
| rhe banker and the merchant are in
league against him. There is no room
| higher up for him in any of the profess
ions. And in journalism the first query
| now raised in the face of a young man
seeking footing is not so much whether
| he ever drinks to excess. as whether be
| never touches the liquid fire at all II he
does, his application is not worth the
paper it is written on.
There is no mistake about it, The drink
lng young man in this day is as pitiable
creature as moves on the earth He is
fore doomed to failure. The battle of
life, the struggle for existence in this age,
IS hard enough in any view. Put the
best face on it. and the young man who
mas everything yet to win has a long,
arduous, oftentimes discouraging struggle
ahead of him. He needs every possible
assistance of sympathy and the support
OF every out-stretched hand. And when
all this is done in his behalf, still will it
DC for many long years a close shave be-
tween the things which fight for him and
things which fight against him.
But the young man who drinks strikes
from his side the strongest force of
friendship which might otherwise tide
him to SUGGESTIVE force of confidence.
He lines his pathway with enemies and
gives their eyes the deadly glance of
suspicion. No man and least of all a
young man who has yet to gain stand
ing III the world, can hope to succeed
against such obstacles. 1t is the very
widest folly of moonstruck madness for
a young man, instead of stripping HIM
self Tor the race before him of all evil
habits of all tripping faults, to hang up
on himself the fatal weights of the drink
habit. The day does not pass when
young men are not falling in failure or
in ruin, dragged down irremediably by
these self-fastened membranes. OF all
tragedies which break innocent hearts.
blight innocent lives, and brighten the
faith of all these tragedies of the drink
habit are the most signal, the most sor-
rowful. Bnt there is no help for it save
'eh-help. Men whose synpathies might
cad to interposition for the young man
u thoughtless habit. are divided from
1lm by the brass wall of self-interest.
lhey cannot, they dare not, give him the
priceless opportunity of place or trust.
They must let him go his way, and his
way is pointed downward.
The young man who drinks had better
lot drink.
